Abstract This work concerns the nonlinear numerical analysis of mistuned blades for a rotating detuned bladed-disk structure with geometrical nonlinearities. The detuning phenomenon is taken into account through a deterministic approach by modifying material properties of some blades. A nonlinear reduced-order model is obtained by setting up a basis using a double projection method. The mistuning uncertainties are implemented through a nonparametric probabilistic approach for which the level of uncertainties is controlled by a hyperparameter. A numerical application is carried out on a bladed-disk structure made up of 24 blades whose finite element model has about 800,000 dofs exhibiting complex dynamic behaviors.

A reduced order approach is introduced in this paper that can be used to predict the steady-state response of mistuned bladed disks. This approach takes results directly from a finite element analysis of a tuned system and, based on the assumption of rigid blade base motion, constructs a computationally efficient mistuned model with a reduced number of degrees of freedom. Based on a comparison of results predicted by different approaches, it is concluded that: The reduced order model displays structural fidelity comparable to that of a finite element model of the entire bladed disk system with significantly improved computational efficiency; and under certain circumstances both the finite element model and the reduced order model predict quite different response from simple spring-mass models.

This paper deals with the development of an accurate reduced-order model of a bladed disk with geometric mistuning. The method is based on vibratory modes of various tuned systems and proper orthogonal decomposition of coordinate measurement machine (CMM) data on blade geometries. Results for an academic rotor are presented to establish the validity of the technique.

Intentional mistuning is a well known procedure to decrease the uncontrolled vibration amplification effects of the inherent random mistuning and to reduce the sensitivity to it. The idea is to introduce an intentional mistuning pattern that is small but much larger that the existing random mistuning. The frequency of adjacent blades is moved apart by the intentional mistuning, reducing the effect of the blade-to-blade coupling and thus the effect of the random mistuning. The situation considered in this work is more complicated because the main source for the blade damping is the effect of the aerodynamic forces (as it happens in a blisk for a family of blade dominated modes with very similar frequencies). In this case the damping is clearly defined for the tuned traveling waves but not for each blade. The problem is analyzed using the Asymptotic Mistuning Model methodology. A reduced order model is derived that allows us to understand the action mechanism of the intentional mistuning, and gives a simple expression for the estimation of its beneficial effect. The results from the reduced model are compared with those from a finite element model of a more realistic rotor under different forcing conditions.

Abstract A case study on the efficient prediction of vibration and power flow in a vehicle structure is presented. The modeling and analysis technique is based on component mode synthesis (CMS). First, the finite element model (FEM) of the entire vehicle structure is partitioned into component models. Then, the Craig-Bampton method is used to assemble a CMS model of the vehicle. The CMS matrices are further reduced by finding characteristic constraint (CC) modes. A relatively small number of CC modes are selected to capture the primary motion of the interface between components, yielding a highly reduced order model of the vehicle vibration in the low- to mid-frequency range. Using this reduced order model (ROM), the power flow and vibration response of the vehicle is analyzed for several design configurations. A design change in one component structure requires a re-analysis of the FEM for that component only, in order to generate a new ROM of the entire vehicle. It is found that this component-based approach allows efficient evaluation of the effectiveness of the vehicle design changes.

Reduced order models have been reported in the literature that can be used to predict the harmonic response of mistuned bladed disks. It has been shown that in many cases they exhibit structural fidelity comparable to a finite element analysis of the full bladed disk system while offering a significant improvement in computational efficiency. In these models the blades and disk are treated as distinct substructures. This paper presents a new, simpler approach for developing reduced order models in which the modes of the mistuned system are represented in terms of a sub-set of nominal system modes. It has the following attributes: the input requirements are relatively easy to generate; it accurately predicts mistuning effects in regions where frequency veering occurs; as the number of degrees of freedom increases it converges to the exact solution; it accurately predicts stresses as well as displacements; and it accurately models the deformation and stresses at the blades’ bases.

AbstractIntegrally bladed rotors (IBRs) are meant to be rotationally periodic structures. However, unique variations in geometries and material properties from sector-to-sector, called mistuning, destroy the structural periodicity. This results in mode localization that can induce forced response levels greater than what is predicted with a tuned analysis. Furthermore, mistuning and mode localization are random processes that require stochastic treatments when analyzing the distribution of fleet responses. Generating this distribution can be computationally intensive when using the full finite element model (FEM). To overcome this expense, reduced-order models (ROMs) have been developed to accommodate fast calculations of mistuned forced response levels for a fleet of random IBRs. Usually, ROMs can be classified by two main families: frequency-based and geometry-based methods. Frequency-based ROMs assume mode shapes do not change due to mistuning. However, this assumption has been shown to cause errors that propagate to the fleet distribution. To circumvent these errors, geometry-based ROMs have been developed to provide accurate predictions. However, these methods require recalculating modal data during ROM formulations. This increases the computational expense in computing fleet distributions. A new geometry-based ROM is presented to reduce this cost. The developed ROM utilizes a Bayesian surrogate model in place of sector modal calculations required in ROM formulations. The method, surrogate modal analysis for geometry mistuning assessments (SMAGMA), will propagate uncertainties of the surrogate prediction to forced response. ROM accuracies are compared to the true forced response levels and results computed by a frequency-based ROM.

The complex architecture of aircraft engines requires demanding computational efforts when the dynamic coupling of their components has to be predicted. For this reason, numerically efficient reduced-order models (ROM) have been developed with the aim of performing modal analyses and forced response computations on complex multistage assemblies being computationally fast. In this paper, the flange joint connecting two turbine disks of a multistage assembly is studied as a source of nonlinearities due to friction damping occurring at the joint contact interface. An analytic contact model is proposed to calculate the local microslip based on the different deformations that the two flanges in contact take during vibration. The model is first introduced using a simple geometry representing two flanges in contact, and then, it is applied to a reduced finite element model in order to calculate the nonlinear forced response.

A new reduction method for vibration analysis of intentionally mistuned bladed disks is presented. The method is built for solving the dynamic problem of cyclic structures with geometric modifications. It is based on the use of the cyclic modes of the different sectors, which can be obtained from a usual cyclic symmetry modal analysis. Hence the projection basis is constituted; as well as, on the whole bladed disk, each sector matrix is reduced by its own modes. The method is validated numerically on a real bladed disk model, by comparing free and forced responses of a full model finite element analysis to those of a reduced-order model using the new reduction method.
